The Investigation

Proceedings of the April 1995 meeting. After an overview of nitration and of changes in the field in the past 20 years, papers discuss theoretical aspects of nitration and the production of polynitro compounds, N2O5 technology, the production and use of N2O5 as a nitrating agent, and industrial aspects of nitration. Specific topics include continuous manufacturing of solid dinitrogen pentoxide, and commercial dinitrotoluene production processes. Of interest to chemists, engineers, administrators, researchers, students, industrial employees, and government workers involved in nitration applications.
